Police: 3-Year-Old Tortured By Mother's Boyfriend |
|
| |
Scranton Police are asking for the public's help in locating Darak Williams, 26, and Kashema Reddish, 25, who have not been seen since the death of Reddish's 3-year-old daughter, Kavannah Salvador, in February 2008.
On Feb. 21, 2008, authorities say Williams and Reddish brought Kavannah to the emergency room of the Community Medical Center in Scranton, Penn. According to police, Williams told nurses he found Kavannah in bed, not breathing, after a mid-day nap. Forty minutes later, Kavannah was officially pronounced dead by doctors.
Police say a C.A.T. scan performed on the tiny girl revealed a multitude of traumatic injuries, including contusions to the back of her skull, optic nerve damage and hemorrhages throughout her brain. As detectives revealed the C.A.T. scan findings to Reddish, they say the mother appeared unemotional and at times unresponsive.
As Kavannah's body was wheeled off to the morgue, Reddish and Williams were taken to police headquarters for additional interviews. Reddish's 18-month-old son, Knowledge, was immediately placed into child protective custody.
At the police station, cops say neither Reddish, nor Williams could adequately explain the scars, bruises and puncture marks which covered Kavannah's body. But cops say both exercised their right to stop talking to police and abruptly exited the station.
Authorities say when Reddish left the station, she not only left the police behind, but she abandoned Kavannah's lifeless body, which remained in the morgue. Cops say Reddish's relatives were forced to fight to obtain permission to bury the little girl. |

According to Williams' own timeline, Kavannah and her brother, Knowledge, got up at 8:00 a.m. and were eating a breakfast of cereal and soy milk by 9:00 a.m. By 10 that morning, the kids were saying prayers, and did so again at noon.
Williams told police that between noon and 1:00 p.m. he bathed and fed the children lunch, which consisted of Ritz crackers. Around 1:30 p.m., Williams said he put the kids down for a nap.
When he went in later to wake the kids up, Williams said Kavannah seemed sleepy and lethargic, so he decided to let her sleep. When he went back later to rouse the young girl, he noticed she wasn't breathing.
Police say at that point, Williams called Kavannah's mother, Kashema Reddish. Williams told Reddish she needed to get home -- there was an emergency. When Kashema arrived, cops say she found Kavannah in bed, not breathing.
Neither Williams nor Reddish called 9-1-1, police say. Instead, the couple loaded Knowledge and Kavannah's limp body into their car and drove to the hospital.
Around a quarter to five, cops say Williams walked into a Scranton hospital with Kavannah in his arms, yelling for help. A nurse responding to his calls grabbed the child and immediately started C.P.R., but cops say little Kavannah was dead on arrival. An autopsy performed on the little girl later determined her death to be a homicide. |

The Truth About Darak |
|
| |
Cops say by all accounts, Kashema Reddish was a loving and caring mother until a chance encounter changed everything.
Relatives say Reddish bumped into Williams in Scranton while on a visit from Alaska, and the pair began a relationship. Not long after, cops say Reddish packed up her two children and moved back to Pennsylvania.
Authorities say family members were surprised by the move, considering Reddish's mother had specifically relocated to Alaska to help her with the children.
In Scranton, Reddish and Williams moved into a half-duplex in what cops describe as a nice neighborhood on Hyde Park Ave. While the couple referred to themselves as husband and wife, detectives say the two were not married, and Williams was not the children's biological father as he had claimed.
Cops say Williams bragged to a detective that he was an amateur boxer, and reportedly told friends he was not only in training, but also in talks with HBO.
Cops say that was a lie.
In the process of investigating Kavannah's case, police discovered Wiliams' MySpace page. On it he poses, purportedly showing off "expensive watches," holding up a necklace bearing what police describe as a "diamond-encrusted boxing glove," and flashing cash.
Despite his delusions of grandeur, cops say Williams is merely a creep who beats up on defenseless kids.
Darak Williams and Kashema Reddish are wanted on felony charges of Endangering the Welfare of Children.
Cops believe they may have fled to New York City. |
